Paul, did you see the exclamation signs in the backup folder?

Yes. I assume that this is either LyX or Dropbox naming the backup file
with the full original path (substituting exclamation points for
slashes). It seems to me I've seen other programs do something similar
on Linux using underscores as substitutes for path dividers (slashes).
I've never had either LyX or Dropbox do that to one of my files, but
it's been a long time since I used LyX (or anything else) on Windows.

Jürgen,
I did just that and backup folder is rendered in the window:

Now, after clicking OK, Dropbox pops up a warning telling me the
file is going to be moved from the original folder. Moving back
to no backup folder defined... Scary!

This message seems to be generated by LyX, and I suspect it occurs
either because
C:/Users/jcredberry/Dropbox/Sulan/Papers/DCHT/DCHT_2020_v3.lyx is
locked or write protected or because somehow the directory is
temporarily unavailable.
A little Googling turned up at least one report of Dropbox
blocking access to files on a Win 10 PC that may or may not have
been caused by a Win 10 update (in February). If you bump into
this problem again, you might check the Dropbox icon in the system
tray and see if it indicates that Dropbox is syncing. If so, that
might be interfering with LyX writing the modified file.
